    • Representative Eric Swalwell shared a disturbing voice message he received at one of his California offices.

    • In the message, the unknown caller says his children and wife must be beheaded.

    • Swalwell said he believes he has been targeted by Republican politicians and voters because of the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago.

    Representative Eric Swalwell shared a chilling voice message he said he received, in which the caller calls for the beheading of his wife and three children.

    The conversation, which lasts nearly two minutes, is laced with profanity and slander. It was left on his machine in his Castro Valley, California district office. Swalwell posted the call to Twitter earlier this week.

    “I hope someone slits that mother’s throat from ear to ear. Cut his damn head off,” a man’s voice sounds in the audio he shared. “Swalwell is a worthless piece of shit–. Cut off his wife’s head, cut off his kids’ heads. I don’t give a f–k.”

    The call comes amid an FBI investigation into former President Donald Trump’s residence in Florida’s Mar-a-Lago. The FBI raided his Florida property on Monday, and unsealed court documents reveal that the investigation was part of an investigation into whether Trump had violated three laws regarding the handling of government documents.

    Swalwell said in his tweet that he believes he has been targeted by Republican politicians and voters because of the raid.

    “LUIS to this death threat against my children. Since the FBI search for Mar-a-Lago, Trump, McCarthy and MAGA Republicans have fueled violent rhetoric against lawmakers and law enforcement,” he said. “Someone is being killed.”

    This isn’t the first time Swalwell has shared a threatening voice message he’s received.

    Last year, he shared the audio of a disturbing voice message from a Tucker Carlson fan. The caller left racist, homophobic and sexist language on the voicemail, which was riddled with defamation.

    “As for these foreign invaders that you let into this country, I hope they cut you and your family to pieces and feed them to their dogs,” an unidentified male voice said on the message. “Here’s your free speech for today, motherfucker, from Trump Nation!”
